Gravity is expressed by the formula g = m/r2, where g is the surface gravity of an object, expressed as a multiple of the Earth's, m is its mass, expressed as a multiple of the Earth's mass (5.976·1024 kg) and r its radius, expressed as a multiple of the Earth's (mean) radius (6371 km). So for an example, Mars has a mass of 6.4185·1023 kg 0.107 Earth masses and a mean radius of 3390 km 0.532 Earth radii. The surface gravity of Mars is therefore approximately 0.107/0.532sq is about 0.38 (0.37805981118209056475775905930239) .378 x 100 lb gives 37.8lb Allow for precision in the values and the answer is anywhere between 37.6 and 37.8lbs.

So, if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth: 0.37 X 100 = 37
You would weigh 37 pounds on Mars.

What happens to your weight when you go to a different planet?
Your weight changes. Relatively your weight increase on planets bigger than Earth and your weight usually decreases on planets smaller than Earth.
Why do you weigh more on earth that other planets?
You don't, necessarily. On Jupiter you would weigh more than twice your weight on Earth. Your weight would be different on the different planets because the strength of gravity varies.
What is an object that different on other planets in the solar system?
Weight & gravitational force
Why do forces change on different planets and moons?
Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.
Why can a soda weigh different on different planets?
soda weighs differently on different planets because the planets gravitational pull makes the mass of the soda and the weight change because of pressure and different gravitational pull they could also make the soda explode because o fpressure and carbonation
What happens to your weight when you go to a different planet?
Your weight changes. Relatively your weight increase on planets bigger than Earth and your weight usually decreases on planets smaller than Earth.
Why is weight different on different planets and the moon?
Some planets have less gravity or more gravity.More gravity giving you more weight and less giving you less weight.
Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
People have different weight on different planets or the moon due to variations in gravitational pull. Gravity is weaker on the moon and certain planets compared to Earth, resulting in a person weighing less. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so it changes based on the strength of gravity.
Does gravity affect your weight on different planets?
yes it does
How is mass and weight are different?
Mass= # of particles/ matter weight= the force of gravity Examples: your mass is the same on every planet, Your weight is different on different planets
What is the force that makes your weight change on different planets?
Gravity
Does your weight change when you go to another planet?
Yes, because on different planets you are being pulled down by a different mass. this help me so much

What is an object that different on other planets in the solar system?
Weight & gravitational force
What happens if a person is dehydrated?
Loss of weight
What force makes your weight change on planets?
The pull of gravity. Gravity is different on every planet so, it causes your weight to fluctuate.
Why do forces change on different planets and moons?
Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.
